Yeah, mm-hm

[Verse 1]

I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away

[Refrain]

How long? How long must we sing this song?

How long? How long?

'Cause tonight

We can be as one, tonight

[Verse 2]

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

[Chorus]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Oh, let's go

[Verse 3]

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me, who has won?

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

[Chorus]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

[Refrain]

How long? How long must we sing this song?

How long? How long?

'Cause tonight

We can be as one, tonight

[Chorus]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Tonight, tonight)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Tonight, tonight)

Come get some

[Bridge]

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your tears away

[Chorus]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday, oh

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday, oh

Yeah, let's go

[Verse 4]

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) on

[Chorus]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday, yeah, yeah

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
